SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--McAfee today announced further collaboration with Samsung to provide
pre-installed security software protection on Samsung Smart TVs, Samsung
PCs, and the Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone line worldwide. With this
collaboration, McAfee is delivering on its vision to provide protection
for connected devices.

“Protecting every connected device in your home is absolutely essential
today,” said John Giamatteo, executive vice president, consumer business
group, McAfee. “That’s because if one device is attacked, it puts your
entire home network at risk. While that level of protection might sound
like a lot of effort, McAfee makes sure that it’s easy. We believe there
is power in working with partners like Samsung to build world-class
security into devices like smart TVs, PCs, and smartphones so that these
devices are protected right out of the box.”

According to a recent McAfee
survey, nearly 44% of consumers are worried about their personal
financial information being stolen while 38% are worried about identity
theft. These consumer fears underscore the need for robust cross-device
security. McAfee protection addresses growing concerns like these across
multiple devices.

“As the connected world of devices continues to expand into consumers’
homes, Samsung users can feel comfortable knowing that their devices are
protected with the latest security solutions,” said Henry Lee, VP of
Mobile Security Technologies, and the Mobile Communications Business at
Samsung Electronics. “We understand the importance of building security
in devices from the start and are proud to offer solutions that provide
convenience while keeping our customers safe.”
